I started Bicycle Buddy in 2011, after 20 very exciting years in the corporate arena, I decided the time was right to follow my lifelong passion and hence Bicycle Buddy was born. Fast forward to summer 2018 and I’m delighted to say the business is going fantastically well....many thanks to all those involved especially if you are a customer !

The business is still focused on mobile cycle repairs and servicing it seems to suit people really well, in that, we can come to either your home or place of work and in the majority of instances fix your bike there and then, no hassle loading it into the car and great value for money too. We’ve also developed a fantastic partnership with Doncaster Council being their chosen partner for a number of schemes including CycleBoost, so if you work for a large employer in Doncaster we may be able to put this council funded maintenance scheme in place for your place of work, contact me to find out how.

One side of the business that has exceeded my expectations is the tour support, the idea was spawned from the charity bike rides I used to organise at Costa Coffee, but since then we’ve supported hundreds of riders on various trips, we are just back from a London to Paris adventure with a team of riders from Heart Valve Voice....check out their videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDMiHtCleEE) from their you tube channel to see what fun they had.Whatever ride you are thinking of, it’s a great peace of mind to have the Bicycle Buddy team alongside you to help with planning, luggage, logistics and any emergency scenarios that can develop on longer rides.

So that brings me to the bigger Bicycle Buddy team that’s now in place, first of all, helping out in Doncaster is Ian, from time to time he may service your bike, Ian is cytech qualified and also helps out with the tour support.

From June 2018, Rick Anderton is launching Bicycle Buddy in Northampton, don’t be surprised if he turns up in and around Doncaster too though as we so busy it’s all hands to the deck to keep with the growing demand for our services. Rick and I have known each since the late 80s, where we worked at Whitbread Beer Company. We’ve been great friends ever since and I’m delighted to welcome him to the team. Rick did his Cytech training earlier this year and is now ready to launch the full Bicycle Buddy services to customers living within approx 20 miles of his home in Kingsthorpe Village, Northampton.

Our mission remains to give great service and superb value for money, helping you to keep, safely, on two wheels.
